Let me ask you a question ... do you truly think the only police activity is the visible presence of cops' searching bags, etc?
-"We will divide our country and the city of New York, and right now we need unity - for all of us to stand together."-
So stand with us. What's stopping you?
The 9/11 highjackers fit a certain profile. That is what we should be looking for.
The NYCLU can go to hell.
Your mistake? You can't bring logic unto a PC reality, the two shall never meet! You're right of course, but what does that matter? Blackbird.
Jeff Cooper called Los Angeles a third world metropolis formerly occupied by Americans. You could say the same of NYC.
